What’s the deal with a mob princess like myself and a gorgeous alien warrior like Jave?Well…it’s complicated. At first he was just Mr. Right Now.But I’ve got this feeling he COULD be my Mr. Right…If you can get past the fact that he’s an alien.And a shapeshifter.And part of the Alliance military.And likely to want to put some or all of my family in prison.But he’s also a genuinely decent man.… in prison.
But he’s also a genuinely decent man.
That’s as rare as anything in this galaxy.
But I am who I am.
The insurmountable obstacle here is the fact that he’s on the side of law and order, and I’m the heir to a criminal empire.
It doesn’t help matters at all that he rocked my world in a way I’ll never forget…
And…a repeat performance could probably put that one to shame…
8 feet tall. 10 pack abs. Over 400 pounds of muscle….
In fact, you know what? Screw this…
I need to go see him.
Mr. Right Now just became Mr. Right Right Now.
So yeah, it’s complicated.

This book features a romance of an alpha male alien warrior, a smart, sassy human woman. Expect to see characters you’ve come to love pop in during the story. No cheating and HEA guaranteed!

As part of the Penetrator’s crew Jave had duties to perform and when he was needed for a special mission, a well-kept secret that could get him killed, became useful. Cyrl had grown as a mob princess, heiress to an Empire and a currency to trade. Jave’s mission put him directly in her path turning off what had been keeping her tied to a future that she was rejecting. Interesting Jave’s perception of himself and how he kept comparing to others. Cyrl was struggling with her family duties and her perception of the business that seemed to scare and ashamed her. With all the banter and bickering among its members it was a miracle that the Penetrator crew could plan a mission. Chuckled with the performance at the rescue mission. The story was amusing with goofy situations, action, deceit, adventure, some suspense, fights, romance and passion.
This book hooked me from the get go I just couldn’t put it down I fell in love with these characters and omg what a story just a perfect

Stating the obvious, what woman would say no to any man/beast that could change his “size”. Getting to the nitty gritty of this book was fun as there were times I laughed out loud and shook my head at Jave’s reasoning.
Looks like being a mafia princess is not all it is cracked up to be but she is up to the challenge.

I loved this story! It was intense in ALL the best ways. I will be reading this one again, that’s for sure. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
Another must0read by this author in this genre. I volunteered to read an advance copy for an honest review.
THERE IS SOMEONE FOR EVERYONE
I received this book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review
Jave thinks he’s the least abled warrior in the Penetrator’s group and an outcast because of his shape-shifting abilities. He is given a mission to find a teleporter and meets Cyrl. He finally finds someone to belong to him as he reveals his secret that he’s kept from his best friend. The connection to Cyrl is made, the Penetrators do something noble and the story goes into a cliff-hanger.
Jave was an amazingly well-written story by one of my favorite authors, Athena Storm. This book 5 in the Marauder Mates Series was intriguing as it had some very well-thought out scenes and story plots. These characters have very strong wills and personalities and their interactions are believable.This wonderful story has the following: intrigue, twists & turns, adventure, action, variety of races, humans, danger, love, steam and a HEA. I am always on the lookout for books by this author. Her stories get better and better.

Jave is the shapeshifter on the Penetrator’s crew. He is sent to impersonate Kurr and infiltrate the mob. He falls for Cyrl, Kurr’s foster sister. You have action, suspense, humor and romance for a fun and steamy read.

This was my first book in the Maurader Mates series, but it won’t be my last! This story just grabs you and takes you on a wild chaotic ride. And the chemistry between Jave and Cyrl is smoking. Ten out of ten, would recommend.
Athena Storm writes the best alien characters ever. With each book we get to revisit with familiar characters who are still all larger than life and get to delve deeper into one of the characters from a previous book. This time it is Jave and his team, who are all absolutely hilarious. They are like a large dysfunctional family and I love each and every one of them. When they have a new mission Jave has a unique ability that makes him perfect for the job but it is something that he has always kept hidden because it isn’t exactly a valued trait amongst his people. On the assignment he meets Cyrl, the ward of a notorious mafia boss, the same mafia boss Jave is sent to infiltrate. She immediately doubts that he is who he says he is. The two have instant, blazing hot chemistry but Cyrl is determined to get away from violence and Jave is, after all, a soldier. Can they regain what was stolen and build something lasting. Fantastic characters and an engrossing story.

Jave is the only crew member of the Penetrator who isn’t mated. General Dowron assigns is sent of a special mission that could get Jave killed. Cyrl has grown up as a mob princess heiress to an empire and someone to be traded. Cyrl is tired of all the bickering, struggling and duties do to her family and the business. This was a hilarious, bumpy ride and nothing goes as planed. Cyrl and Jave escape by the seat of their pants. Great characters and fantastic story line. Great addition to this series.

Jave, a shapeshifting Grolgath, assumes the facial and body features of a dead prisoner. Cyrl is a mob princess who has been traded to another crime family as a show of good faith. Jave disguised as Kurr is to be traded for a teleportation device that Kurr’s father has stolen But Cyrl notices something different about Kurr, there is compassion and feelings in his eyes that the ruthless Kurr never had before. Loved this addition to the Athenaverse series.

As part of the Alliance military Jave wants to put criminals under custody and the Cyral’s mob family is part of the equation. When Jave sees her there is a connection he recognizes and their journey begins. The book is well written and I enjoyed the story line.

This is the 5th book in the series but it can be read as a stand-alone. Cyrl is a mob princess and Jave is part of the Alliance military who wants to put some of Cyrl’s family in jail. Sparks fly between them but will Cyrl choose her family, who she doesn’t like very much or Jave? Fast-paced sci-fi read with loads of drama, steam and suspense. I liked it.
this is a great read, an alien romance filled with action, fighting, emotion and steam, it has great characters who will have you on your toes till the end
